本揭露是有關於一種半導體裝置及半導體裝置製造方法。 The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device.

由於各種電子構件(例如電晶體、二極體、電阻、電容...等等)之整合密度持續改進，半導體產業已經歷迅速的成長。最重要的部分為，整合密度之改善要來自最小特徵尺寸(minimum feature size)之一再的縮減，其可使有更多元件被整合至一特定區域中。就微型化的需求而 言，高速度、大頻寬以及低功率耗損和等待時間已在近年來成長，而更小和更有創造性的半導體晶粒封裝技術之需求也已成長。 As the integration density of various electronic components (such as transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc.) continues to improve, the semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth. The most important part is that the improvement of integration density comes from the reduction of one of the minimum feature sizes, which allows more components to be integrated into a specific area. In response to the need for miniaturization In other words, high speed, high bandwidth, and low power consumption and latency have grown in recent years, and the demand for smaller and more creative semiconductor die packaging technologies has also grown.

隨著半導體技術的進一步演進，堆疊半導體裝置(例如3D積體電路(3DIC))已出現為有效的替代方案，以進一步縮小半導體裝置之實體尺寸。在堆疊半導體裝置中，主動電路(例如邏輯電路、記憶體電路、處理器電路和類似電路)係製造於不同的半導體晶圓上。二或多個半導體晶圓可被安裝在另一個半導體晶圓之頂部上，以進一步降低半導體裝置之形式因子(form factor)。 With the further evolution of semiconductor technology, stacked semiconductor devices (such as 3D integrated circuits (3DIC)) have emerged as effective alternatives to further reduce the physical size of semiconductor devices. In stacked semiconductor devices, active circuits (such as logic circuits, memory circuits, processor circuits, and similar circuits) are manufactured on different semiconductor wafers. Two or more semiconductor wafers can be mounted on top of another semiconductor wafer to further reduce the form factor of the semiconductor device.

兩個半導體晶圓可經由適當的接合技術而接合在一起。常用的接合技術包含直接接合(direct bonding)、化學活化接合(chemically activated bonding)、電漿活化接合(plasma activated bonding)、陽極接合(anodic bonding)、共晶接合(eutectic bonding)、玻璃介質接合(glass frit bonding)、黏著接合(adhesive bonding)、熱壓縮接合(thermo-compressive bonding)、反應性接合(reactive bonding)和/或類似接合技術。堆疊半導體裝置可提供更高的密度和更小的形式因子，且提供改善的效能和更低的功率耗損。 The two semiconductor wafers can be bonded together via suitable bonding techniques. Common bonding technologies include direct bonding, chemically activated bonding, plasma activated bonding, anodic bonding, eutectic bonding, and glass dielectric bonding ( glass frit bonding, adhesive bonding, thermo-compressive bonding, reactive bonding, and / or the like. Stacked semiconductor devices can provide higher density and smaller form factors, and provide improved performance and lower power consumption.

後續揭露提供許多不同實施例或範例，用以達成本發明的不同特徵。後續描述的元件及配置的特定範例，係用來簡要說明本揭露。當然，這些只是範例，並非用來限制本揭露。舉例而言，在後續說明中，第一特徵形成於第二特徵上，可能包括的實施例為第一特徵及第二特徵形成直接 接觸，以及可能包括的實施例為額外的特徵可能形成介於第一及第二特徵之間，使得第一及第二特徵可能非直接接觸。此外，在本揭露中，在許多實例中可能重複標號和/或文字。這些重複的使用係以簡化和明確說明為目的，其本身並非意指多個實施例和/或討論的設置之間的關係，除非有特別註明作為意指一關係。 Subsequent disclosures provide many different embodiments or examples to achieve different features of the invention. Specific examples of components and configurations described later are used to briefly explain the disclosure. Of course, these are just examples and are not intended to limit this disclosure. For example, in the following description, the first feature is formed on the second feature, and the embodiment that may be included is that the first feature and the second feature are formed directly. Contact, and possibly included embodiments, is that additional features may be formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact. In addition, in this disclosure, reference numerals and / or words may be repeated in many examples. These repeated uses are for the purpose of simplification and explicit description, and do not in themselves mean the relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed, unless specifically noted as meaning a relationship.

再者，在此可使用空間相關的用語，例如「下方之(underlying)」、「下(below)」、「較下方(lower)」、「上方(overlying)」、「較上方(upper)」及類似用語，使敘述一部件或特徵與另一或另一些部件或特徵之間如圖式所繪示的關係更為容易。此些空間相關的用語意圖包括裝置除圖示所示的方位之外，在不同使用或操作中之額外的方位。另外，裝置也可具有其他方位(旋轉90度或其他方位)，而在此使用的空間相關用語可據此類似方式被解釋。 Furthermore, space-related terms such as "underlying", "below", "lower", "overlying", "upper" can be used here. And similar terms make it easier to describe the relationship between one component or feature and another component or feature as illustrated in the figure. These spatially related terms are intended to include additional orientations of the device in different uses or operations in addition to the orientation shown in the illustration. In addition, the device may have other orientations (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatially related terms used herein may be interpreted in a similar manner.

如以下更詳細的討論，例如在此討論的實施例提供多層介層窗(multi-via)互連結構，此多層介層窗互連結構可提供具有極小間距尺寸之接觸體，例如小於或等於大約10微米(μm)、小於或等於大約5微米、小於或等於大約1微米或類似者。此微小間距尺寸使設計者可實現低成本、低功率和高密度之結構設計。例如此些之實施例可有利於整合各種技術節點和/或各種功能性區塊，從而提供高價值的單晶積體設備(monolithic integrated device)之更高成本效益替代方案。相較之下，具有間距大於40微米或甚至大於10微米之現存方法不只將增加晶體尺寸和系統的 形式因子(form factor)，且將增加電路寄生(parasitic)元件值(例如電阻、電容和電感)，其將犧牲產品可靠度，或甚至產品可靠度(歸因於例如高電感值之電壓超越(voltage overshoot))。 As discussed in more detail below, for example, the embodiments discussed herein provide a multi-via interconnect structure that can provide contacts with extremely small pitch dimensions, such as less than or equal to About 10 micrometers (μm), less than or equal to about 5 micrometers, less than or equal to about 1 micrometer or the like. This tiny pitch size allows designers to implement low-cost, low-power and high-density structural designs. For example, these embodiments may facilitate the integration of various technology nodes and / or various functional blocks, thereby providing a higher cost-effective alternative to high-value monolithic integrated devices. In contrast, existing methods with pitches greater than 40 microns or even greater than 10 microns will not only increase crystal size and system Form factor, and will increase circuit parasitic component values (such as resistance, capacitance, and inductance), which will sacrifice product reliability, or even product reliability (attributable to, for example, high-inductance voltage overshoot ( voltage overshoot)).

舉例而言，一些實施例可將10奈米(nm)節點/16奈米節點鰭式場效電晶體(FinFET)積體電路晶粒與28奈米積體電路晶粒整合成單一封裝體，從而提供整合不同技術至單一封裝體之更大彈性。此可提供例如一技術節點之處理器晶粒與其它科技節點之記憶體的互連。如其它例子，一些實施例可將具有不同功能之不同晶粒(例如，影像感測器、類比裝置、記憶體、感測器、大型被動裝置(passive device)和類似者)整合成單一封裝體。舉例而言，較上方之晶粒與較下方之晶粒可形成記憶體堆疊體(memory stack)，且在另一例子中，一晶粒可為影像感測器，且其它晶粒可為邏輯晶粒或特殊應用積體電路(ASIC)晶粒。 For example, some embodiments may integrate a 10 nanometer (nm) node / 16 nanometer node fin field effect transistor (FinFET) integrated circuit die and a 28 nanometer integrated circuit die into a single package, thereby Provides greater flexibility to integrate different technologies into a single package. This can provide, for example, the interconnection of the processor die of a technology node with the memory of other technology nodes. As other examples, some embodiments may integrate different dies with different functions (e.g., image sensors, analog devices, memory, sensors, large passive devices, and the like) into a single package . For example, the upper die and the lower die may form a memory stack, and in another example, one die may be an image sensor, and the other die may be logic Die or special application integrated circuit (ASIC) die.

應注意的是，上述接合可在晶圓級進行，例如第一晶圓100與第二晶圓200被接合在一起，且接著被分割為分離的晶粒。或者，上述接合可在晶粒至晶粒級(die-to-die)或晶粒至晶圓級(die-to-wafer level)進行。 It should be noted that the above-mentioned bonding may be performed at a wafer level, for example, the first wafer 100 and the second wafer 200 are bonded together and then divided into separate dies. Alternatively, the bonding may be performed at a die-to-die or die-to-wafer level.

如圖2所示，第一互連線112之選擇多者的圖案與第二互連線212之選擇多者的圖案對準。舉例而言，第一晶圓100之第一互連線112a、112b的圖案可與第二晶圓200之第二互連線212a的圖案對準，且第一晶圓100之第一互連線112c、112d的圖案可與第二互連線212b的圖案對準。如以下將被討論，第一多層介層窗結構可被形成以提供電性接觸至第一晶圓100之第一互連線112a、112b與第二晶圓200之第二互連線212a，且第二多層介層窗結構可被形成以提供電性接觸至第一晶圓100之第一互連線112c、112d與第二晶圓200之第二互連線212b，此第一多層介層窗結構在第一互連線112a與112b之間延伸，且此第二多層介層窗結構在第一互連線112c與112d之間延伸。在一些實施例中，第一互連線112a和112b以及相似的第一互連線112c和112d代表單一互連結構的部分，例如連接墊，此連接墊具有形成在其之中的開口。在其它實施例中，第一互連結構112a和112b以及相似的第一互連線112c和112d可代表二或多個導電線。 As shown in FIG. 2, the pattern of the multiple selection of the first interconnection line 112 is aligned with the pattern of the multiple selection of the second interconnection line 212. For example, the pattern of the first interconnection lines 112a, 112b of the first wafer 100 may be aligned with the pattern of the second interconnection line 212a of the second wafer 200, and the first interconnection of the first wafer 100 The pattern of the lines 112c, 112d may be aligned with the pattern of the second interconnection line 212b. As will be discussed below, a first multilayer interlayer window structure may be formed to provide electrical contact to the first interconnection lines 112a, 112b of the first wafer 100 and the second interconnection line 212a of the second wafer 200. In addition, a second multilayer interlayer window structure may be formed to provide electrical contact to the first interconnection lines 112c, 112d of the first wafer 100 and the second interconnection line 212b of the second wafer 200. This first The multilayer interlayer window structure extends between the first interconnection lines 112a and 112b, and the second multilayer interlayer window structure extends between the first interconnection lines 112c and 112d. In some embodiments, the first interconnect lines 112a and 112b and similar first interconnect lines 112c and 112d represent portions of a single interconnect structure, such as a connection pad having an opening formed therein. In other embodiments, the first interconnect structures 112a and 112b and similar first interconnect lines 112c and 112d may represent two or more conductive lines.

圖3係繪示依據一實施例之薄化製程結果。在第一晶圓100與第二晶圓200接合後，薄化製程可應用至第一晶圓100之背側。在第一基材102為背側受光式感測器之實施例中，薄化製程可使更多光線從第一基材之背側通過至光主動區域而不被基材所吸收。在背側受光式感測器於磊晶層中被製造之實施例中，第一晶圓100之背側可被薄化，直到磊晶層被暴露。此薄化製程可藉由使用適當的技術來達成，例如磨光(grinding)、研磨(polishing)、SMARTCUT®步驟、ELTRAN®步驟和/或化學蝕刻。其它適當的製程係在美國專利申請號8,048,807中描述，此申請案係結合在此作為參考。在一些實施例中，第一晶圓100之基材係薄化至厚度T1，例如小於或等於大約5微米，或例如小於或等於大約3微米。薄化第一晶圓100至例如上述之厚度可使淺介層(shallow via)之形成穿過第一基材102，其接著提供相鄰多層介層窗互連結構之間的更小間距。此薄化更減少晶圓至晶圓對準(wafer-to-wafer alignment)之焦點深度(depth of focus；DoF)，其使介層窗至金屬連接墊的對準精密度(alignment resolution)更佳。鈍化層或介電層可沿著薄化基材之背側而形成，以保護基材(例如，矽基材)不受環境影響。 FIG. 3 illustrates the thinning process results according to an embodiment. After the first wafer 100 and the second wafer 200 are bonded, the thinning process may be applied to the back side of the first wafer 100. In the embodiment where the first substrate 102 is a back-side photo-sensing sensor, the thinning process allows more light to pass from the back side of the first substrate to the photoactive region without being absorbed by the substrate. In an embodiment in which the backside light receiving sensor is fabricated in an epitaxial layer, the backside of the first wafer 100 may be thinned until the epitaxial layer is exposed. This thinning process can be achieved by using appropriate techniques, such as grinding, polishing, SMARTCUT ® step, ELTRAN ® step, and / or chemical etching. Other suitable processes are described in US Patent Application No. 8,048,807, which is incorporated herein by reference. In some embodiments, the substrate of the first wafer 100 is thinned to a thickness T 1 , for example, less than or equal to about 5 microns, or, for example, less than or equal to about 3 microns. Thinning the first wafer 100 to a thickness such as that described above allows the formation of a shallow via to pass through the first substrate 102, which then provides a smaller pitch between adjacent multi-layered via window interconnect structures. This thinning further reduces the depth of focus (DoF) of the wafer-to-wafer alignment, which makes the alignment resolution of the interlayer window to the metal connection pads better. good. A passivation layer or a dielectric layer may be formed along the back side of the thinned substrate to protect the substrate (for example, a silicon substrate) from the environment.

現參照圖4，第一開口226形成在第一基材102中。如以下更詳細的討論，電性連接將被形成以從第一晶圓100之背側延伸至第二晶圓200之第二互連線212之選擇多者。第一開口226代表背側接觸將被形成於其之中的開口。 第一開口226可藉由使用微影技術來形成。一般而言，微影技術包含沉積光阻材料，此光阻材料接著被暴露和顯影，以去除此光阻材料之一部分。剩下的光阻材料保護下方之材料不被例如蝕刻製程等後續製程所影響。 Referring now to FIG. 4, a first opening 226 is formed in the first substrate 102. As discussed in more detail below, electrical connections will be formed to extend from the back side of the first wafer 100 to the second interconnect line 212 of the second wafer 200. The first opening 226 represents an opening in which a backside contact is to be formed. The first opening 226 may be formed by using a lithography technique. Generally speaking, lithography involves depositing a photoresist material, which is then exposed and developed to remove a portion of the photoresist material. The remaining photoresist material protects the underlying material from being affected by subsequent processes such as etching processes.

圖4亦繪示一或多個保護塗層(protective coatings)228(在圖4中係以單一階層為代表而作為例示目的)。此些保護塗層228可為一或多層，以保護基材(例如，矽基材)之背側不受環境影響和/或增加在圖案化製程中。舉例而言，在一些實施例中，保護塗層228亦可作為抗反射塗層(anti-reflection coating layer；ARC layer)。此抗反射塗層減少在圖案化一圖案光罩之微影製程中曝光光源(exposure light)的反射，此反射可造成在圖案化中的不準確。抗反射塗層可由氮化材料(例如，氮化物)、有機材料(例如，矽碳化物)、氧化材料、高介電常數材料(high-k dielectric)和類似者所形成。抗反射塗層可使用適當的技術來形成，例如化學氣相沉積和/或類似技術。 FIG. 4 also illustrates one or more protective coatings 228 (in FIG. 4, a single layer is represented as an example). Such protective coatings 228 may be one or more layers to protect the back side of the substrate (eg, silicon substrate) from the environment and / or be added to the patterning process. For example, in some embodiments, the protective coating 228 may also be used as an anti-reflection coating layer (ARC layer). The anti-reflection coating reduces the reflection of exposure light during the lithography process of patterning a patterned mask, and the reflection may cause inaccuracies in the patterning. The anti-reflection coating may be formed of a nitride material (for example, nitride), an organic material (for example, silicon carbide), an oxide material, a high-k dielectric, and the like. The anti-reflective coating may be formed using a suitable technique, such as chemical vapor deposition and / or the like.

其它階層可被使用在圖案化製程中。舉例而言，一或多個選擇性硬遮罩層可被使用以圖案化第一基材102。一般而言，一或多個硬遮罩層在一些實施例中為有利的，其中蝕刻製程需要遮罩和由光阻材料所提供的遮罩。在後續蝕刻以圖案化第一基材102之製程中，圖案化光阻遮罩將亦可被蝕刻，雖然光阻材料的蝕刻速率可不等高於第一基材102之蝕刻速率。若蝕刻製程為使得圖案化光阻遮罩將可在蝕刻製程完成之前被消耗，則附加的硬遮罩可被利用。硬 遮罩層或多層之材料被選擇，使得硬遮罩層(多層)展現比下方之材料(例如第一基材102之材料)較低的蝕刻速率。 Other layers can be used in the patterning process. For example, one or more selective hard mask layers may be used to pattern the first substrate 102. In general, one or more hard mask layers are advantageous in some embodiments, where the etching process requires a mask and a mask provided by a photoresist material. In the process of subsequent etching to pattern the first substrate 102, the patterned photoresist mask can also be etched, although the etching rate of the photoresist material may be different from the etching rate of the first substrate 102. If the etching process is such that the patterned photoresist mask can be consumed before the etching process is completed, an additional hard mask can be utilized. hard The material of the mask layer or layers is selected such that the hard mask layer (multilayer) exhibits a lower etch rate than the underlying material (such as the material of the first substrate 102).

圖5係繪示依據一些實施例之在進行一或多個蝕刻製程後之圖4中所示的半導體裝置之剖面圖。適當的蝕刻製程，例如乾燥蝕刻、非等向濕蝕刻(anisotropic wet etch)或任何其它適當的非等向性蝕刻或圖案化製程，可進行在半導體裝置上，以形成第二開口514。在一些實施例中，例如光阻之圖案化遮罩(圖未繪示)可被形成和圖案化以定義第二開口514。 5 is a cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 4 after one or more etching processes are performed according to some embodiments. A suitable etching process, such as dry etching, anisotropic wet etch, or any other suitable anisotropic etching or patterning process, may be performed on the semiconductor device to form the second opening 514. In some embodiments, a patterned mask (not shown), such as a photoresist, may be formed and patterned to define the second opening 514.

如圖5所示，第二開口514從第一開口226延伸至第一互連線112和第二互連線212之各別多者。在一些實施例中，第一互連線112係由例如銅之適當金屬材料所形成，此金屬材料具有與附加層間介電層110不同的蝕刻速度(選擇性)。如此一來，第一互連線112可作為硬遮罩層，以用在附加層間介電層110之蝕刻製程。選擇性蝕刻製程可被使用以快速蝕刻掉附加層間介電層110，且當此蝕刻製程繼續朝向第二互連線212時，從而形成凹陷516。凹陷516之深度可取決於各種應用及設計需求而變化。 As shown in FIG. 5, the second opening 514 extends from the first opening 226 to each of the first interconnection line 112 and the second interconnection line 212. In some embodiments, the first interconnect line 112 is formed of a suitable metal material, such as copper, which has a different etch rate (selectivity) than the additional interlayer dielectric layer 110. In this way, the first interconnection line 112 can be used as a hard mask layer for the etching process of the additional interlayer dielectric layer 110. A selective etching process can be used to quickly etch away the additional interlayer dielectric layer 110, and when this etching process continues toward the second interconnect line 212, a recess 516 is formed. The depth of the recess 516 may vary depending on various applications and design requirements.

第二蝕刻製程直到第二互連線212之各別多者被暴露前繼續進行，從而形成合併之開口，此合併之開口從第一晶圓100之背側延伸至第二晶圓200之第二互連線212，如圖5所示。 The second etching process is continued until the respective multiples of the second interconnect line 212 are exposed, thereby forming a merged opening that extends from the back side of the first wafer 100 to the second wafer 200. Two interconnection lines 212 are shown in FIG. 5.

應注意的是，第二蝕刻製程可經由用以形成附加層間介電層110和210之各種不同的疊層延伸，此些各種 不同的疊層可包含各種材料和蝕刻停止層。據此，第二蝕刻製程可利用多層蝕刻劑(etchant)來蝕刻以穿過各種疊層，其中此些蝕刻劑係基於被蝕刻之材料來選擇。 It should be noted that the second etching process may be extended through various different stacks used to form the additional interlayer dielectric layers 110 and 210. Different stacks can include various materials and etch stop layers. Accordingly, the second etching process can use multiple etchants to etch through the various stacks, wherein these etchants are selected based on the material being etched.

圖6係繪示依據一些實施例之導電材料形成在第一開口226和第二開口514中(見圖5)，從而形成多層介層窗互連結構620。在一些實施例中，導電材料可藉由沉積擴散和/或阻障層以及沉積晶種層來形成。在一些實施例中，包含鉭、氮化鉭、鈦、氮化鈦、鎢化鈷(CoW)或類似材料之擴散阻障層(diffusion barrier layer)係沿著第一開口226和第二開口514之側壁而形成。晶種層可由銅、鎳、金、上述之任意組合和/或類似材料所形成。擴散阻障層和晶種層可藉由適當的沉積技術來形成，例如物理氣相沉積(PVD)、化學氣相沉積和/或類似沉積技術。一旦晶種層已被沉積在開口中，導電材料(例如銅、鎢、鋁、銀、上述之組合和/或類似材料)係藉由例如電化學鍍製程(electro-chemical plating process)而填充至第一開口226和第二開口514中，從而形成導電多層介層窗互連結構620。 FIG. 6 illustrates that a conductive material is formed in the first openings 226 and the second openings 514 (see FIG. 5) according to some embodiments, so as to form a multilayer interlayer window interconnection structure 620. In some embodiments, the conductive material may be formed by depositing a diffusion and / or barrier layer and depositing a seed layer. In some embodiments, a diffusion barrier layer comprising tantalum, tantalum nitride, titanium, titanium nitride, cobalt tungsten (CoW), or similar materials is along the first opening 226 and the second opening 514 Wall. The seed layer may be formed of copper, nickel, gold, any combination thereof, and / or the like. The diffusion barrier layer and the seed layer may be formed by a suitable deposition technique, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition, and / or the like. Once the seed layer has been deposited in the opening, a conductive material (e.g., copper, tungsten, aluminum, silver, a combination of the foregoing, and / or the like) is filled to, for example, an electro-chemical plating process. The first opening 226 and the second opening 514 form a conductive multilayer via window interconnect structure 620.

圖6亦繪示剩餘材料(例如，剩餘導電材料)從第一基材102之背側之移除。在一些實施例中，剩餘材料可藉由蝕刻製程、平坦化製程(planarization process)(例如，化學氣相沉積製程)或類似製程而移除。 FIG. 6 also illustrates the removal of the remaining material (eg, the remaining conductive material) from the back side of the first substrate 102. In some embodiments, the remaining material may be removed by an etching process, a planarization process (eg, a chemical vapor deposition process), or a similar process.

之後，一或多個附加製程步驟可被進行。舉例而言，覆蓋層(capping layers)、重佈線(redistribution lines)、導電連接墊結構和類似結構可被形成。圖7係繪示一例子，其中重佈線和/或接合墊(landing pads)(以元件770代表)被形成以提供電性連接至多層介層窗互連結構620。在一些實施例中，多層介層窗互連結構620可同時由導電材料填充以形成重佈層(redistribution layer；RDL)。在一些實施例中，重佈層係於形成多層介層窗互連結構620之前或之後形成。 Thereafter, one or more additional process steps may be performed. For example, capping layers, redistribution lines), conductive connection pad structures, and the like may be formed. FIG. 7 illustrates an example in which redistribution and / or landing pads (represented by the component 770) are formed to provide electrical connection to the multi-level window interconnect structure 620. In some embodiments, the multilayer interlayer window interconnect structure 620 may be simultaneously filled with a conductive material to form a redistribution layer (RDL). In some embodiments, the redistribution layer is formed before or after the multilayer via window interconnect structure 620 is formed.

圖7繪示具有多個多層介層窗互連結構620之實施例。因使用多層介層窗互連結構620而形成單一互連，故可得到極小的間距P1。此係部分因為可使用較小的介層窗尺寸和較薄的基材之故。在一些實施例中，間距P1係小於或等於大約10微米。在一些實施例中，間距P1係小於或等於大約5微米。在一些實施例中，間距P1係小於或等於大約1微米。 FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment with a plurality of multi-level interlayer window interconnect structures 620. Since a single interconnection is formed by using the multi-layer interlayer window interconnection structure 620, a very small pitch P1 can be obtained. This is partly because smaller interposer window sizes and thinner substrates can be used. In some embodiments, the pitch P1 is less than or equal to about 10 microns. In some embodiments, the pitch P1 is less than or equal to about 5 microns. In some embodiments, the pitch P1 is less than or equal to about 1 micron.

例如以上所討論之實施例係提供多層介層窗互連結構，此多層介層窗互連結構使微小的間距和彈性結構提供多個高裝置密度之互連方法。第一介層窗延伸而穿過第一晶圓100之第一基材102(例如矽基材)，且可提供電性連接至重佈層或接觸墊(contact pad)。第二介層窗延伸而穿過第一晶圓100之介電層(例如，氧化層、氮化層或類似疊層)，例如層間介電層、金屬間介電層、蝕刻停止層、應力層或類似疊層，以暴露第一互連線112之選擇多者之多個部分。第三介層窗從第一晶圓100上的第一互連線112延伸至第二晶圓200中的第二互連線212。在例如此些之實施例 中，第一、第二和第三介層窗提供多層介層窗互連結構至較下方之晶粒上的電路。 For example, the embodiments discussed above provide a multi-layer interlayer window interconnect structure. The multi-layer interlayer window interconnect structure enables a small pitch and elastic structure to provide multiple high-device-density interconnect methods. The first interlayer window extends through the first substrate 102 (such as a silicon substrate) of the first wafer 100 and can provide electrical connection to a redistribution layer or a contact pad. The second dielectric window extends through a dielectric layer (eg, an oxide layer, a nitride layer, or a similar stack) of the first wafer 100, such as an interlayer dielectric layer, an intermetal dielectric layer, an etch stop layer, stress Layers or similar stacks to expose portions of a plurality of selected first interconnect lines 112. The third via window extends from the first interconnection line 112 on the first wafer 100 to the second interconnection line 212 in the second wafer 200. In examples such as these In the first, second, and third vias, the multilayer vias provide interconnections to circuits on the lower die.

應注意的是，用以形成多層介層窗互連結構之第一互連線112和第二互連線212可或可不連接至第一晶圓100之第一電路104和/或第二晶圓200之第二電路204。舉例而言，在一些實施例中，多層介層窗互連結構620可將電子裝置互連於較上方或較下方之晶粒上。在一些實施例中，在第一晶圓100上的第一互連線112(例如第一互連線112a和112b)可不電性連接至第一晶圓100上的第一電路104，使得此些多層介層窗互連結構620之一個多層介層窗互連結構提供電性連接至第二晶圓200上的第二電路204。在此些實施例中，第一互連線112作為用以形成多層介層窗互連結構620之對準元件(alignment)和遮罩。 It should be noted that the first interconnection line 112 and the second interconnection line 212 used to form the multilayer interlayer window interconnection structure may or may not be connected to the first circuit 104 and / or the second crystal of the first wafer 100. The second circuit 204 of the circle 200. For example, in some embodiments, the multi-level interlayer window interconnect structure 620 may interconnect electronic devices on a die above or below. In some embodiments, the first interconnection line 112 (eg, the first interconnection lines 112 a and 112 b) on the first wafer 100 may be electrically connected to the first circuit 104 on the first wafer 100 such that this One of the multi-level interlayer window interconnection structures 620 provides a second circuit 204 electrically connected to the second wafer 200. In these embodiments, the first interconnection line 112 is used as an alignment element and a mask for forming the multi-level interlayer window interconnection structure 620.

如另一例子，多層介層窗互連結構620之多層介層窗互連結構可提供第一晶圓100之第一電路104與第二晶圓200之第二電路204之間的電性連接，且外部連接為虛擬(dummy)連接，其未連接至外部訊號。在這些實施例中，多層介層窗互連結構620可提供未電性連接之外部連接。在此些情形下，鈍化層或其它介電層可形成在暴露且未使用的外部連接上，以保護材料不受外部環境影響。 As another example, the multi-layer interlayer window interconnect structure of the multi-layer interlayer window interconnect structure 620 may provide electrical connection between the first circuit 104 of the first wafer 100 and the second circuit 204 of the second wafer 200. , And the external connection is a dummy connection, which is not connected to an external signal. In these embodiments, the multi-layer window interconnect structure 620 may provide external connections that are not electrically connected. In such cases, a passivation layer or other dielectric layer may be formed on the exposed and unused external connections to protect the material from the external environment.

如以上所討論，在此揭露的多層介層窗互連結構容許晶圓/晶粒以不同製程節點(10/16奈米鰭式場效電晶體、28奈米...等等)來疊層。接著，此可減少或消除歸因於輸入/輸出(I/O)連接墊之大間距的連接墊尺寸界限之 限制，此連接墊尺寸界限之限制係由現存技術(例如基板上晶圓貼覆晶粒(chip on wafer on substrate；CoWoS)封裝)所限制。此方法可減少接觸墊區域4倍或更多，且可減少晶粒尺寸10%~50%，若此晶粒受接觸墊所限制。在一些實施例中，在晶粒上之裝置密度可增加2至4倍或更多。 As discussed above, the multilayer interlayer window interconnect structure disclosed herein allows wafers / dies to be stacked at different process nodes (10/16 nm fin field effect transistors, 28 nm ... etc.) . This, in turn, reduces or eliminates the size of the pads due to the large pitch of the input / output (I / O) pads. Limitation. The limitation of the size limit of the connection pad is limited by the existing technology (such as chip on wafer on substrate (CoWoS) packaging). This method can reduce the contact pad area by 4 times or more, and can reduce the grain size by 10% -50%, if this grain is limited by the contact pad. In some embodiments, the device density on the die can be increased by 2 to 4 times or more.

上述說明係提供材料和製程之一般說明。多層介層窗互連結構620可包含其它結構及利用其它材料和/或製程。舉例而言，多層介層窗互連結構可包含阻障層、黏著層、多層導電層和/或其它結構。適當的製程、結構和材料係在美國專利申請號14/135,104和美國專利申請號14/135,153中被描述，此些申請案係結合在此作為參考。 The above descriptions provide general descriptions of materials and processes. The multilayer via window interconnect structure 620 may include other structures and utilize other materials and / or processes. For example, the multilayer interlayer window interconnect structure may include a barrier layer, an adhesion layer, a multilayer conductive layer, and / or other structures. Suitable processes, structures, and materials are described in U.S. Patent Application No. 14 / 135,104 and U.S. Patent Application No. 14 / 135,153, which applications are incorporated herein by reference.

圖8係繪示依據一些實施例之結合影像感測晶粒與特殊應用積體電路晶粒之3D積體電路的部分之例子。在此實施例中，較上方之晶粒801，例如第一晶圓100，包含具有彩色濾波器(color filters)820和微透鏡(microlenses)822之影像感測器，此些彩色濾波器820和微透鏡822係形成在較上方之晶粒801的背側上。較下方之晶粒802，例如第二晶圓200，為特殊應用積體電路晶粒，此特殊應用積體電路晶粒係提供影像感測器之邏輯電路。如圖8所繪示，多層介層窗互連結構620(在圖8中以虛線矩形為代表)被配置以鄰接像素區域824。應注意的是，在一些實施例中，像素區域824代表一或多個像素。舉例而言，多層介層窗互連結構620可被***在個別的像素、一組像素或 像素陣列之間。在一些實施例中，多層介層窗互連結構620係沿著像素陣列之周圍來排列。 FIG. 8 illustrates an example of a part of a 3D integrated circuit combining an image sensing die and a special application integrated circuit die according to some embodiments. In this embodiment, the upper die 801, such as the first wafer 100, includes an image sensor with color filters 820 and microlenses 822. These color filters 820 and The microlens 822 is formed on the back side of the upper die 801. The lower die 802, such as the second wafer 200, is a special application integrated circuit die. This special application integrated circuit die is a logic circuit that provides an image sensor. As shown in FIG. 8, the multilayer interlayer window interconnect structure 620 (represented by a dashed rectangle in FIG. 8) is configured to adjoin the pixel region 824. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the pixel area 824 represents one or more pixels.

圖11為一流程圖，其係繪示依據一些實施例之在疊層晶片組態中形成多層介層窗互連結構之方法。此方法開始於步驟1110，提供將被接合之基材。此些基材可為被處理的晶圓(例如圖1所繪示之晶圓)、晶粒、晶圓與晶粒、或是類似基材。在步驟1112中，將此些基材接合在一起，例如上述有關圖2之說明。在步驟1114中，薄化此些基材之其中一者，例如上述有關圖3之說明。在步驟1116中，經由 薄化後，進行第一蝕刻製程以形成穿過薄化基材之第一開口，例如上述有關圖4之說明。基材之薄化可使在多層介層窗互連結構之間的間距更小。 FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a method for forming a multi-layer interlayer window interconnect structure in a stacked wafer configuration according to some embodiments. The method starts at step 1110 and provides a substrate to be bonded. Such substrates can be processed wafers (such as the wafer shown in FIG. 1), die, wafer and die, or similar substrates. In step 1112, the substrates are bonded together, for example, as described above with reference to FIG. In step 1114, one of the substrates is thinned, such as described above with reference to FIG. In step 1116, via After thinning, a first etching process is performed to form a first opening through the thinned substrate, such as described above with reference to FIG. 4. The thinning of the substrate can make the distance between the multi-layer interlayer window interconnect structures smaller.

在步驟1118中，進行第二蝕刻製程以形成第二開口，此第二開口係從第一開口中延伸至形成於第一基材和/或第二基材上之互連結構或線結構之選擇多者。圖案化遮罩，例如上述有關圖5之說明，可用以定義在第一開口中的第二開口。在步驟1120中，以導電材料來填充此些開口，例如上述有關圖6之說明，從而形成多層介層窗互連結構。進一步的步驟可被進行。舉例而言，在步驟1122中，接合墊和/或重佈線可被形成以提供連接至多層介層窗互連結構的外部電性連接，例如上述有關圖7之說明。 In step 1118, a second etching process is performed to form a second opening. The second opening extends from the first opening to an interconnect structure or a line structure formed on the first substrate and / or the second substrate. Choose more. A patterned mask, such as the description of FIG. 5 described above, can be used to define a second opening in the first opening. In step 1120, these openings are filled with a conductive material, such as the description of FIG. 6 described above, so as to form a multilayer interlayer window interconnection structure. Further steps can be performed. For example, in step 1122, bonding pads and / or redistributions may be formed to provide external electrical connections to the multi-level window interconnect structure, such as described above with reference to FIG.

多層介層窗互連結構可由任何適當的方式和圖案來排列。舉例而言，在一些實施例中，多層介層窗互連結構可沿著晶粒之周圍來排列。在一些實施例中，多層介層窗互連結構可與電路或像素混合，例如邏輯晶粒之電路中或影像感測器之像素。 The multilayer via window interconnect structure may be arranged in any suitable manner and pattern. For example, in some embodiments, the multilayer via window interconnect structure may be arranged along the periphery of the die. In some embodiments, the multilayer interlayer window interconnect structure may be mixed with a circuit or a pixel, such as a pixel in a logic die circuit or an image sensor.

可理解的是，例如前述之實施例係提供多層介層窗互連結構，此多層介層窗互連結構可提供具有微小間距尺寸的接觸物，例如小於或等於10微米、小於或等於5微米、小於或等於1微米或類似者。此微小間距尺寸使設計者可實現低成本、低功率和高密度之結構設計。另外，各種設計可被利用在提供不同輸入/輸出電壓源和/或值(例如，0.8伏特、1.8伏特或類似者)至在疊層晶片組態中的各種元件。 例如此些之實施例特別有利於整合各種技術節點(例如，10奈米節點、16奈米節點和類似技術節點)和/或任何功能性晶粒(例如，影像感測器、類比裝置、記憶體、感測器、大型被動裝置和類似者)，其提供設計高價值的單晶積體設備之替代方案。 It can be understood that, for example, the foregoing embodiment provides a multi-layer interlayer window interconnect structure. The multi-layer interlayer window interconnect structure can provide contacts with a minute pitch size, such as less than or equal to 10 microns, less than or equal to 5 microns , Less than or equal to 1 micron or similar. This tiny pitch size allows designers to implement low-cost, low-power and high-density structural designs. In addition, various designs may be utilized in providing different input / output voltage sources and / or values (eg, 0.8 volts, 1.8 volts, or the like) to various elements in a stacked wafer configuration. For example, these embodiments are particularly advantageous for integrating various technology nodes (e.g., 10nm nodes, 16nm nodes and similar technology nodes) and / or any functional die (e.g., image sensors, analog devices, memory Devices, sensors, large passive devices, and the like), which provide alternatives for designing high-value monocrystalline integrated devices.

This method will allow the system to have flexible block division and better cost structure. For example, the previous three-voltage design of the expensive 16nm fin field-effect transistor can be changed to a dual-voltage design with a smaller grain size, and the third voltage can be moved to other chips, which can be changed by less expensive Supported by 40nm technology. Lower costs can be achieved not only from less expensive technologies, but also from pre-validation (Pre-proven) technology design integrated circuit and shorter design cycle time to achieve.
